.RJ Young.FOX Athletics National College Soccer Analyst.In the initial period of the 16-team SEC, the organization has shown to become a lot more tough than we thought it might be. It is actually certainly not merely that Alabama dismayed Georgia back in Full week 5 to achieve the No. 1 ranking. It is actually that Vanderbilt dismayed then-No. 1-ranked Alabama. It's that the second best group in the SEC-- not the greatest staff in the Big 10, Big 12 or ACC, who all possess undefeated staffs in their games-- got approval as the No. 1 crew in the country.There have actually been 3 No. 1 teams in the first eight full weeks of the time, as well as they call coming from the same event: S-E-C! Having said that, with Georgia's 30-15 gain against Texas, our team are actually liable to see the Associated Press ranking overtake me and rate Oregon, currently sitting at 7-0 with a gain in the house versus a remarkable Ohio Condition staff, as the brand new agreement No. 1 group in America.However ... There is a disagreement for Georgia reclaiming the No. 1 rank it held to start the time, and also it starts along with the Bulldogs going on the street to secure a double-digit triumph over the Longhorns. That is the best gain in the country. The 15-point gain on the Forty Acres stands above Oregon's one-point win over Ohio State at Autzen, as well as the Bulldogs accomplished the feat with quarterback Carson Stream tossing three interceptions and completing only 23 of 41 passes for 175 gardens with absolutely no touchdowns.Georgia's win over Texas was a leading as well as classic Kirby Smart defensive functionality, where Texas could carry out nothing for 2 quarters as well as tracked UGA 23-0 at halftime. This while the Dawgs have certainly not played a complete activity on outburst, protection or unique crews this season.But winning should be appreciated, as well as missing should be actually penalized. Thus, Oregon is actually the No. 1 staff listed here-- meanwhile. Yet look out if this Georgia team finds a technique to participate in total football.Georgia, even at No. 2, thinks unavoidable when again.With that, here's a look at my best 25 rankings observing Full week 8 of the college soccer time:1.
